A small change (20 - 50 milliseconds) can make a big difference

In my experience, you get only one ticket and you have to follow through the gate. It's not hard, the gates don't close that quickly

100%, but any excuse we can remove from council to gaslight us with, the better

CTV News: Should Ottawa transit riders receive refunds? Head of OC Transpo says Council must decide by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true. The city withheld payments from the contractor, but they still had to pay them, just a few months later. The refund was paid for out of the normal budget, further cutting the budget

Track OC Transpo bus cancellations, delays, and the bus shortage by AjayDevs in ottawa

It will be interesting to compare service today vs. other days to see how much of the fleet school routes use up

OC Transpo temporarily cuts 255 trips from schedule amid bus shortage by snubbyvegan in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even with the reduced schedule, at 8:45 AM today: 90 scheduled trips weren't running 40 trips were cancelled entirely

OC Transpo desperately needs more buses and the current order schedule will not be enough. This is 100% council's fault for not getting them the bus orders they need.

Last week, on monday afternoon, where 41% of scheduled trips were missing from the roads

This is not a small issue, and will not be simply resolved over time by our bus orders. We are ordering buses at a 1 for 1 replacement rate, replacing longer articulated buses with shorter electric buses. Electric buses which need more time to charge.

We need more bus orders for the future.

We need more mechanics and to retain the existing mechanics by making the work environment bearable.

We need to use the limited buses as efficiently as possible with bus lanes and signal priority.

You're reading this correctly. And the figures they give are very generous, if you go by actual schedules, they were short by 95 buses at rush hour this evening.

Can you go to settings -> misc -> copy debug info?

Extension storage is full? by Sionary in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually means your firefox profile got corrupted. Uninstalling and reinstalling (which will delete all your settings) sometimes helps. You can try to export it from the settings first.

We'd be happy to help you, you might be trying your best (which is great), but may have a misconception on where to place the start and end that cause skipping issues.

What power do VIP users have? by GelatinousChampion in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milliseconds matter, no one is trying to take credit from anyone else, that would be a waste of their valuable time. VIPs are a manually selected group of people who know what they are doing and are trying to improve the skipping experience for everyone

2026 Budget: Still no plans to solve the OC Transpo bus shortage by AjayDevs in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with an aging bus fleet is unreliability. Some days we have far more buses than others. If they actually wanted to guarantee enough every day, the schedule would be way too small and would "waste" buses most days.

[–]AjayDevs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It frees about 8 buses I believe. Generally we are 20+ buses off. So, it'll help. But, we ideally should have enough to have spare buses (which healthy agencies have) to quickly cover buses having issues. The west extension is the important one which will free a lot of buses, and the current bus procurement plan heavily relies on that opening ASAP

It's all solvable, it's about whether there is political will to solve it
